Configuring conditional compilation symbol in app.config file

Question

Can we configure conditional compilation symbol in app.config file? If it is possible then let us know how to do it.

Thanks, P. Gopalakrishnan

Answer 1

They are done at different times - one at compile time one at run time. If you are compiling code at run time (e.g. dynamic creation of code) then you could use a simple appSetting. Finally there is an option where you add a entry in the VBPROJ/CSPROJ/MSBUILD file to parse the config file and add an appropriate symbol using the CreateProperty task.
